I believe they call it “lulz” on the interwebs, but when you take The Last Exorcism (in theaters this Friday, a moment please for the cries of “woo hoo!” to die down) and couple with with unsuspecting ChatRoulette users, the end result is downright hilarious.

See, no one really knows if this is legit or not (some believe that this may have been staged, a possibility but unverifiable), but apparently the folks out at The Last Exorcism took their movie into the random video chat service ChatRoulette in a bid to see who’d be taken in by a hot chick who suddenly turns into a creepy demon.  They then compiled the reactions into the video I have included below, which comes via YouTube.

Needless to say, the reactions are terrifically funny, and will no doubt serve as a serious boost to The Last Exorcism’s marketing, which gives us a great start to the Halloween movie season, which pretty much starts as soon as summer movie season ends.

The Horde takes place near Paris where four crooked cops run amok inside a condemned building.  Mobsters have their hideout in the building, catch the bad cops and are about to execute them on top of the roof. Beyond belief, hordes of bloodthirsty, cannibalistic undead zombies enter by force the building. The zombies savagely attack any living human.

This is the Let the Right One In poster from 2008, a specialty poster for the fifth anniversary of the Toronto After Dark Film Festival, at which the film screened in 2008.

So today we’re tackling that huge 3D menace, Piranha 3D, and much like director Alexandre Aja’s earlier Mirrors, it’s going to be freaky, occasionally funny, jam-packed with blood and have a godawful ending.

Piranha 3D follows the usually sleepy community of Lake Victoria (which is apparently not only a landmark, but also the name of a town and a county as evidenced by the fact that Lake Victoria has a sheriff’s department and a sheriff’s office is usually a county-wide post), as they brace for their annual Spring Break bacchanal. This year’s a bit different, though, as the egomaniacal coke-fiend host / cameraman / owner / CEO of the Wild Wild Girls franchise has shown up to film college girls going wild and in the process make some cash. But when an underwater explosion manages to wake a subspecies of the insanely cannibalistic fish known as piranha, Spring Break’s about to get a whole lot bloodier.

I predict that there will be a legion of unhappy teenage girls out there this weekend as their boyfriends call in the cinematic markers they incurred for sitting through the last Twilight installment.There’s enough blood, jokes, and topless girls (not to mention some outright nudity set to classical music) here for three movies. When the climax of the movie features a half-eaten corpse whose last words were a gasped and blood-spattered”We…wet t-shirt…wet t-shirt contest”, you know where we’re going here.

The worst part about Piranha is that, sure, most of it is actually pretty darn good.  Straightforward, granted–it’s a remake of a monster movie that we’ve seen a couple hundred times before–but still, pretty solidly done.  Aja’s film style suits well here and the 3D is actually well done also. In fact, I had a pretty nice time with it up until about the last three minutes or so when I ran full-bore into that godawful ending.

See, for some reason (probably having to do with getting a sequel made), the film introduces a whole new plot point in the last thirty seconds of footage.  The result is that you get this whole new idea with seconds left to go, you’ve heard just enough of it to wonder what was going to happen next an

You’re probably wondering what the rest of that paragraph would have said.  You now know exactly how I felt walking out of Piranha 3D.

And like I said, that’s the worst part of the whole thing!  Considering it’s only got a run time of just over eighty minutes, you think they could’ve added on that extra half-hour and taken care of that new subplot they introduced, but no–we’re left this terrific movie that feels downright unfinished.

Not that I’m complaining overmuch–like I said, the first eighty minutes are a bloody, funny romp that’ll definitely entertain and the 3D is well done. It’s not the king of originality, but it does its job well. The big names are at their best–Elisabeth Shue is feeling her inner badass, Ving Rhames is in full-bore badass, and Christopher Lloyd, well, if he’d managed to gasp out a “great scott”, I likely would’ve passed out from the force of the nerdgasm. The problem is those last two minutes–had they gone the extra mile I’d be singing this thing’s praises for hours.  But as it sits, it’s another decent but altogether throwaway horror romp.

The Screenhead Ten Scale hands this unfinished magnificence a seven out of ten. It does the job, and does it well, but I would’ve been a lot happier if they’d finished the movie.

I am not much of a horror movie fan, but Case 39 is looking pretty good to me.  All the excitement about Paramount releasing the movie after two years of being in the vault, the new trailer shows more of Bradley Cooper and his bright-blue eyes. Yes, I like that!   Renee Zellweger screen presence undeniably makes the movie inviting and real.  I just might go see this movie after all.

The movie opens in theaters October 1, 2010.

Paramount has finally decided to release Renee Zellweger horror movie Case 39.  Directed by Christian Alvart, after sitting on the shelf for two years, the movie will finally be at the domestic box office on October 1, 2010.

According to Variety, the studio’s decision to open Case 39 came after the film struck a chord in territories including Mexico and Spain. The domestic marketing campaign will focus heavily on the Hispanic market, the fastest growing segment of the movie-going public.

Case 39 also stars Bradley Cooper, Ian McShane and Jodelle Ferland and has brought in nearly $15 million at the international box office and grossed little over $3 million in both Mexico and Spain.

The story revolves around a social worker (Zellweger) who is assigned to investigate the family of a 10-year-old (Ferland) girl. After the girl comes to live with her, the social worker discovers she might not be so innocent.

Alvart shot the movie in Vancouver in late 2006. It was first set to be released in the U.S. in February 2008, then April 2009.

The Black Swan poster looks awful menacing. Natalie Portman has a  psychotic stare and it is not glamorous in the least, almost like an evil doll.  Darren Aronofsky movies are fascinating because he picks soul searching and nightmarish subjects.

I haven’t quite made up my mind about this movie, but those that I have talked to about it look forward to seeing it. The trailer is worth a look, too.  There appears to be some rather risqué relationships between the ballet director and the ballerinas with an overbearing mother.

Piranha 3D, directed by Alexandre Aja, opens this weekend.  As a last minute funny and crazy bit of promotion for the movie on the Internet, this video called “Piranha 3D: For Your Consideration” unveiled on Funny or Die. Piranha 3D is a leading contender for all of the other main categories for best Oscar, which are list by the talent in the video. Piranha 3D is the front-runner and should be considered as a contender with Inception and others.

This is not a serious reel, by any means, it’s a spoof, but I find it kind of funny.

Yes, I have seen better trailers. 

Dylan Dog stars Brandon Routh (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World), who plays a supernatural private eye hunting down monsters like vampires, werewolves and zombies.  The movie is directed by Kevin Munroe, which is his first live-action movie.   He made his feature debut with the animated TMNT.

Dylan Dog is an Italian comic book character of the Louisiana Bayou. The character has his signature blue jeans, red shirt and black jacket.

Now that, folks, is happy news.  To this day I can’t pick up a copy of Stephen King’s Needful Things without reading all of Leland Gaunt’s dialogue in Max Von Sydow’s voice.  The man is easily one of the creepiest actors in Hollywood, so to see him joining the cast of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is just huge.

He’ll be stepping in to play Henrik Vanger, who in the original novel, dispatched journalist Mikael Blomkvist to find his niece.

Seriously, just fantastic news–Von Sydow has decades of practice in creepy settings so you know he’ll handle the role of Vanger just fine.  In fact, if anything, that’s got me looking forward to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’s remake all the more.  Add in Stellan Skarsgard as Martin Vanger, and Rooney Mara as Lisbeth, and the news just keeps getting happier.

You can catch this one in theaters December 21, 2011–though since they’re still in casting I’d look for this date to change.
